External only inspection required?

[Tom West]

Hey everyone,

So I'm buying a house in Lincoln Park, mi and it's going to be my first flip. The city apparently only requires an inspection from the outside of the house. I want an inspection done inside as well but was wondering if anyone knew if it's something the city will do, or if I have to hire someone else? I can't get a hold of anybody at city hall to find out. Thanks in advance

@Tom West that is a weird one that is probably a local thing. They likely just look for code violations. Here fire inspection is required by town only, nothing exterior.    You  probably don't want to pay the city to inspect, a home inspector will give you a full report on everything in the house and they will point out code issues. Just find a good one.
